John That guy that was on a bye, was his name Braylon Edwards?

I had talked in another thread about how I have NO PROBLEM benching my higher drafted studs if I believe a later drafted player could outproduce them. I was hoping Tomlinson would sit out the Steeler game and rest for another week going into his bye week. I believed this was an prideful, talented, angry Steeler team that was likely going to blow out a Charger team who was traveling across the country to play. Not only is it nearly impossible to run on Pittsburgh I thought they would be in catch up mode and LT might get replaced by Sproles some. All week I planned to keep LT on the bench.

Just before kickoff of the 1pm games I pulled Pierre Garcon out of my lineup thinking the Colts may win easy and not be required to pass much in the second half and threw Tomlinson in. Tomlinson scored less than 2 points (to go with my second round pick Bowe scoring 2 points) and while Garcon only scored 10, it would be enough to win my game. I add to the misery I underbid on the 49ers and Saints defenses in free agency.

I also benched Ryan Grant (who plays tonight) to start Julius Jones and Mcgahee. I still believe Jones was the right play going against that Colt run defense. Seattle just at times uses him poorly. I mean it is mind boggling. However I had a real bad feeling about Mcgahee and aside from a lucky TD, his numbers would have been Tomlinson-like.

I can't wait until week 6 when I believe LT starts being LT again.

Missed on Jackson and Gates, we won't get into who I picked over Jackson. :rolleyes:

Some guy in my League bench Walker for Edwards.

or sss.

I really thought that Anderson would light it up this week, so I picked up Robert Royal, I needed a TE. I did pickup up J.Harrison and played him as well. I'm not always wrong.

Bald,

I agree the Charger line is bad. But I think people are off base if they think Tomlinson is magically done now. I would be surprised if he is not a top 5 scoring RB from week 6 forward.

I could very well be proven wrong. Many people here have said he is finished and isn't worthy of even a second round pick. I am putting it out there. LT, in my opinion, will be a top 5 scoring RB from week 6 on.
